Very few frame buffers are supported in NetBSD - you will need to check the hardware support list. Even if it is supported, you will only be able to use it as a text-console. To put progress into perspective, I think support for hardware assisted smooth scrolling has only just been added. > > 2.) Is it posible to run the NetBSD X.Org on that sort of Vaxstation?

NetBSD includes the libraries to run X applications, but no Xserver, so you can only display graphics over the network, nothing locally. Hope that helps. I haven't played about with it for about a year so I might have remembered some things wrong. I'm sure someone will correct me if that's the case :) Thanks, Aaron.
